AT one point, Jude Bellingham took a fresh-air kick at an imaginary target, at another he turned and gave Gareth Southgate a frustrated look.
Then he stood theatrically with arms outstretched as if to ask the entire stadium what was going wrong.
The Ballon D'Or contender was not in a golden mood and he was not the only one.
Jordan Pickford's jersey was orange, his face was regularly red from something approaching fury.
Pickford is often like that most goalkeepers are - but his anger was at the sloppiness in front of him when defenders chose to shuttle the ball towards him rather than be more ambitious.
Yes, England are through to the last 16 and that is what matters.
The players will form an orderly queue over the coming days to highlight teams who have won tournaments after being underwhelming in group stage, but the frustration shown by Bellingham, Pickford and others does not bode well for their knockout campaign.
